Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
89 1 With many words doth the Prophet praise the goodness of God, 23 For his testament and covenant, that he had made between him and his elect by Jesus Christ the son of David. 38 Then doth he complain of the great ruin, and desolation of the kingdom of David, so that to the outward appearance the promise was broken. 46 Finally, he prayeth to be delivered from his afflictions, making mention of the shortness of man’s life, and confirming himself by God’s promise.
A Psalm to give instruction, of Ethan the Ezrahite.
1 I will [a]sing the mercies of the Lord forever: with my mouth will I declare thy truth from generation to generation.
2 For I [b]said, Mercy shall be set up forever: thy truth shalt thou [c]stablish in the very heavens.
3 [d]I have made a covenant with my chosen: I have sworn to David my servant,
4 Thy seed will I stablish forever, and set up thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.
15 Blessed is the people that can [a]rejoice in thee: they shall walk in the light of thy [b]countenance, O Lord.
16 They shall rejoice continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousness shall they exalt themselves.
17 For thou art the [c]glory of their strength, and by thy favor our horns shall be exalted.
18 For our [d]shield appertaineth to the Lord, and our King to the Holy one of Israel.
25 1 He prophesieth that they shall be in captivity seventy years. 12 And that after the seventy years the Babylonians should be destroyed. 15 The destruction of all nations is prophesied.
1 The word that came to Jeremiah, concerning all the people of Judah, in the [a]fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was in the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel:
2 The which Jeremiah the Prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto [b]this day (that is the three and twentieth year) the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you [c]rising early and speaking, but ye would not hear.
4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the Prophets, rising early, and sending them, but ye would not hear, nor incline your ears, to obey.
5 They [d]said, Turn again now everyone from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your inventions, and ye shall dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you, and to your fathers forever and ever.
6 And go not after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands, and I will not punish you.
7 Nevertheless, ye would not hear me, saith the Lord, but have provoked me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
2 (A)[a]Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be [b]circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man, which is circumcised, that he is bound to keep the whole Law.
4 Ye are (B)[c]abolished from Christ: whosoever are [d]justified by the Law, ye are fallen from grace.
5 [e]For we through the [f]Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness through faith.
6 [g]For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, neither [h]uncircumcision, [i]but [j]faith which worketh by love.
